Lyrics Wu–Tang Clan – Street Corners

Intro: sample
Looking on various street corners
I’m sure you’ve seen it yourself
Standing on the corner, is an alleged brother

Bronze Nazareth
Yo, standing on porches in front of houses and corner stores
I’m born to more, horrific than syphilis, cuz where we live is
Hell on earth, where was heaven when shit’s real
We sold dope to get mill, for white folks in Smith field
Fuck Israel, it’s Kill Hills, spilt pills for my bill
Write wills for my seeds, to live from, who take some
Who give some, for brothers that was lynched hung, the symptoms
Never go away, a stir away from colder ways
Having ramblings and savages, blessed, from us asking
This whole cross, is more rust in Florida oranges and lost orphans
I offer thought for food in full courses
I’ve soared into the night glow, my hat’s low, my roots grow
For you to soon know, I reap what you sow

Solomon Childs
We just land down from Liberia, young black man
In control of the pillars, millions buried in dirt
How many railroads do you own? How much clean chrome you own
This for my ancestors names engraved in stone

Byata
The first seed of a dope fiend, she A.D.D
Needle parked off spring boughed, by she, wanna be
While her siblings is rich living, she ain’t bitching
Mama’s working two jobs, try’nna maintain a living
Few years passed, now she’s getting raised by the streets
Side by side, watchin’ hustles, now she blazed like the streets
This is for my women living in the struggle
Getting brought into this world without asking for the troubles
Of the every day life-life, a battered wife
A single mother’s holding it down, while the world so trife
Crack fiend, you could of been something better in life
Now hold your head up, ma, you know it ain’t over, right?
Yeah, this is for my Russians on the grind
Off the boat struggling try’nna hold a nine to five
Yeah, I seen enough with these eyes
I thank the most high, I’m still alive
